BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to the field of mobile phone cases. More particularly, the present invention relates to a charging and data communication apparatus integrated to a mobile phone case.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Mobile devices, such as smartphones and cell phones, have become very popular and widely used for communication and quick access to information and through various applications including social networks. Increased use of mobile devices means increased power consumption. Thus, maintaining a charged state of a mobile device has become an increasing problem.

Generally, charging will require access to a 110 VAC. There are AC to DC converters that provide 5 VDC to a USB connector, and then an intermediary cable is needed with one end having a USB plug and the other end having a Lightning™ plug that goes into the mobile phone. Often, the users have access to a 5 DC voltage of a USB receptacle and the intermediary charging device and a charging and data communication cable. Sometimes the operator of a mobile device is in an emergency situation that although he or she has a charging device, such as the USB plug of a computer or car, but lacks the charging and data communication cable needed to initiate charging and communication. This may be because he or she has forgotten to carry with them the cable, or separately carrying around a charging cable was not convenient.

Mobile device cases are available on the market but lack an integrated charging and communication cable.

Therefore, to solve the problem of a charging and data communication cable being lost or unavailable when needed, and facilitate a convenient way of connecting the cable for charging the mobile device, there is a need for a mobile phone case with an integrated storage compartment to store a charging cable and also allows the connectors of the charging cable to protrude outwardly from the mobile phone case to plug into a mobile device and a 5 DC voltage charging device to charge the battery of the mobile device. The mobile phone case may further solve the problem of providing an additional storage compartment for carrying personal items such money, credit cards and identification along with the charging and data communication cable.

It is even more desirable if the AC to DC converter is also available as an integral part of a mobile phone case, together with charging cable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
